Charity Function Red Dress and Necklace

Happy Saturday!

Going to a charity function where EVERYONE has to wear a red dress to get in. So I decided that I would put my Glowforge to work. 366 (1.5") red acrylic squares and about 200 yrds of 1" & 1.5" red ribbon. Took about 2 weeks to make but came out just as I wanted.

Needed a necklace to go with the look, so red and clear acrylic to the rescue!

Thankfully I can actually sit in this thing and only have to wear it for 4 hours. LOL

Perhaps it is the hat that needs to be red :slightly_smiling_face:

Mr. Sexy San Diego do not forget to pair that dress with black thigh highs!! So when you’re sitting with your legs crossed the top of the lacy thigh highs will be a peek-a-boo!!

Love the dress!!!

Oh my goodness. I seriously hope you are planning to post pictures of the dress in action. I’ll make sure I’m not driving (edit: drinking) any hot liquids while reading about it. What kind of charity function is it?

Not only did you make an awesome dress, the necklace looks awesome.

Very creative, but sitting in it will be a bit painful, I’m guessing. Also, is it heavy? You will be a standout in this outfit, but I wonder if you will have many other opportunities to wear it again. Donating to a second hand clothing store seems iffy. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:
